Un Año Con Schopenhauer by Irvin D. Yalom

A veteran psychotherapist facing a terminal diagnosis reconnects with a former patient who claims to have “cured” himself through strict adherence to Schopenhauer’s philosophy and now seeks to become a therapist. As a condition of supervision, he joins a therapy group, setting off a year-long confrontation between austere philosophical pessimism and the messy realities of human relationships. Interweaving insights from the philosopher’s life, the story follows the group’s struggles with desire, shame, and mortality, ultimately testing the limits of detachment and affirming the transformative power of connection.
